| Name | Zoila raywalkeri - Gold !!!! , Lorenz 2011 |

| Locality | Augusta, WA |
| Note | We receive feed back that putting lower quality specimens of rare shells on shell auction has a negative impact on the pricing of top quality specimens. In deep water we collect a number of dead specimens. The reason for this is there is no wave on the bottom and dead shells remain in reasonable condition a lot longer than in shallower water. We could discard these shell in an attempt to maintain higher prices on better quality shells. We elect not to do this as we feel it is good to provide access to these species to all collectors not just a few. Secondly, they are not the same thing. A dead shell is just that and top end shells are a different thing at different pricing. This large crabbed raywalkeri was taken in 148 metres of water south west of Augusta. The shell had some coral algae removed to show original beauty. It is a large broad shell with perfect canals and without any significant growth defects. If live taken I would ask 15000 EUR or more for the shell. DEAD COLLECTED SPECIMEN. |
